Reading a barcode

[Sarky78]

This isn't something for a project yet but hopefully will turn that way.

Those of you familiar with eBay(!) might have seen their system where you enter the numbers off a bar code and for certain products they look up the details of the item

Has anyone done anything like this before? Any pointers?

Thanks

Youll want to look into licensing a UPC database. Heres an example:

actually the correct term is "UPC lookup database"
